Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We [are] using [Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] in order to help us monitor our service health and diagnose issues that big data can help with.
This is one of the most advanced tools I've used for the matter, I was always able to find a way to show the data I need in a manner that will expose the info I'm looking for, adding alerts based on this is a killer feature. The only drawback I find is that you might have a [steep] learning curve in order to control this tool.
